Biography
Larin was an extremely talented artist and the trophy-husband of Simone Larin, the owner of the extravagent Palais de Walewska. Despite his strained relationship with his wife, Larin enjoyed presenting himself as "Baron Larin, owner of the Palais de Walewska", though he was far from it. He enjoyed golf, owned a private speedboat, and once purchased a model diorama of the Palais in Saint Petersburg.

Larin possessed an obsession to Napoleon Bonaparte, and has been linked to the well-known art broker Sir Howard Moxon, known for selling perfect art forgeries to the rich and powerful. The ICA, the assassination agency, has suspected that Larin has been copying his wife's paintings and jewels for years, selling the originals and keeping the copies on the wall under Simone's nose.

An unknown client contracted the ICA to assassinate Larin at Viktor Novikov's pre-event party at the Palais while his wife is in New York City. The ICA sent their best agent, Agent 47, to eliminate Larin. He accomplished this by covertly destroying two cameras, distracting Larin and his guards with a coin, and poisoning the wine glass in his room.

A few minutes later, Larin took a sip and collapsed dead. 47 left the premises, with no-one suspecting him. Larin's death was ruled a murder, though remained unsolved thanks to the covertness of 47.
